You guys need to pay close attention when driving. Also don't do burnouts or your penis is small(my dick must be microscopic).

VERY POWERFUL ...YES IT SHOULD BE ON U.S TELEVISION

[Dr. Roger]

it should be required to see in high school drivers ed.

i had no idea back then that my actions could have such impact on others. the world actually doesn't revolve around me, and i am not invincible.

what a concept.

Should be mandatory in drivers ed. Oh, wait, we don't teach kids how to drive in this country. It's optional. And even then, it's very nearly worthless.

Ever seen what it takes to get a drivers license in Finland? Every driver is taught car control. Goes a long way towards explaining why a country with .08% of the world's population makes up 15% of the Formula 1 grid, and 17% of the WRC grid.

That video made an impact on my day. I am sending it to everyone that I know.

My nephew just got his drivers license..and even though he is a responsible kid...I sent this to him and his parents.

Thank you for posting this. I agree, it should be shown in all drivers ed classes.

Oh man... That was really rough to watch. Funny how sensitive one gets after having a child.

Here is the street survival schedule for the rest of the year if your really concerned about safety.

I will say one big pet peeve of mine is the poor quality tires we get with new cars. How we let this go on I cannot figure out. Think about how many accidents can be avoided or less serious if only the car could stop 10-20 mph sooner. How come there is no uproar about this?

So true.

[Drums66]

Certainly strikes a nerve! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Should be required at driver's ed classes, driver's licensing stations, and most importantly at each new cellphone activation!

If people would actually drive their cars and pay attention to what the hell they were doing you would'nt have to worry about things like if I could only stop 20 feet sooner. It is scary anymore. 16 year old kids with 300hp WRX's is just a problem waiting to happen.

wow! that gets you. it should be a drivers ed. required film (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

nothing new really

picture the era of the 60's/70's bigblock cars (i was in there with a 455 4speed). even though todays cars are safer it just takes 1 irresponsible driver to ruin many lives.

Unfortunately, we've had a real life example here in the local community.

http://www.wcnc.com/news/topstories/storie...nd.235cd40.html

Sad thing is that it was a 40-something woman racing with a 20-something...with minors in both cars. Just plain stupid.

I drove by this wreck shortly after it happened.... chilling.

Honestly, I found the video a bit on the cheesy side. I think it was the part where the girl was sitting on the wall and the car slams into her and her boyfriend.

I think most high schools do some sort of modern "blood runs red on the highway" program. Several bring in smashed up cars or show slideshows of kids that were killed, injured beyond recognition, etc.

Unfortunately, it only takes one bad decision, in one brief moment to rip someone's world apart.

Great movie, and it does say "pay attention" as supposed to just blaming drivers for everything (the young boy texting and walking right out in front of the box van). It doesn't matter if it's a Fiat 800 or something with a 455 Olds in it, the human body is so frail, an impact with either will have much the same effect.
I think the "pay attention" is really the big message, pay attention as a driver and as a pedestrian, but obviously especially as a driver. People are extremely preoccupied with other things while driving these days, and that IMHO is what causes the majority of accidents. Yes, there are some f... heads out there racing either where they shouldn't or with innocent passengers on board, but they make out such a small part of the bad drivers.
Anyway, strong movie, certainly didn't improve my mood.

That would never get on US television. Which is sad, really.

If we protect ourselves from reality, it's not real.... right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
